These luscious bars combine the best of several beloved desserts. An easy press-in Nilla wafer crust cradles a layer of tangy fresh-banana cheesecake, which is topped with the lightest, fluffiest sour cream whip. Be sure to bring your cream cheese and eggs to room temperature where noted—this helps the filling blend without splitting. Scraping down the bowl and beaters often—and straining your cheesecake filling through a sieve—will ensure the smoothest, silkiest filling. Chill the cheesecake for an hour in the fridge before covering to stop condensing water from dripping across the top. These cheesecake bars are even better after a night in the fridge.
